...

There is no such thing as a perfect book or a perfect story.
Every book in every library on this planet has something wrong with it. It could be something tiny. Maybe a minor character isn’t well drawn. Maybe a description goes on too long. Maybe the dialogue is stiff in one spot. There’s something wrong with every single one. 
No matter how hard we writers try, we will never achieve perfection.
Perfection doesn’t mater No two readers would agree on whether our book was perfect anyway. Besides, readers care less about perfection and more about connection, getting caught up in a story, caring about the characters.

We can lift ourselves out of ignorance 
We can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill
We can be free
We can learn to fly

smell that? thats the smell of consumerism

Never go into a shop if your finances are low (slash non-existent); you will only see something that you like. Don’t go in – you already have everything you need.
